    Let's Restore a Dynaco PAT-5!

    That's why I like the PAT-4. Dan over at UMD makes a wonderful selector switch relay system only for the PAT-4 that beats the pants off of the original selector switch I hear - it ain't cheap though. I have 2 X PAT-4 and 2 X PAT-5 currenly that I am working on. Sadly no decent switch for the...

    Denon DP 23f cartridge recommendations?

    You cannot just use any 1/2 inch cart because there is a very fine height tolerance with this table - arm height is not adjustable.

    Thorens TD-160 Mk 1 Tune-Up and Setup Project

    Thank you muchly Brian. I should visit back on this thread more often. I do have quite a number of TD-165 refurbishing videos posted on my YouTube Channel as well. I think I had 4 or 5 of them at one time. Simply go to YouTube Search and type "Navydiving Thorens" or "Navydiving TD-165" and you...

    Thorens TD-160 Mk 1 Tune-Up and Setup Project

    Response is time late I know but look closely on the Q-up device and you will see two sliders. One adjusts the torque or forcefulness that the arm snaps up and the other adjusts the sensitivity of the trigger. Play with those two as well as the height of the Q-Up device in the cradle and I am...

    Nakamichi 500 help

    Holy crap - finally found the offensive thing. All this for a simple belt change (and yeah 6 screws I think - I have two decks and the other has a screw in another place not shown in this video):(

    Nakamichi 500 help

    Hate to resurrect this old thread. Where the bloody hell is the 5th screw holding the top cover on? Got 2 of these partially apart and cannot get the top off at all. I am stymied! The crap service manual is of no help whatsoever:mad: Updated after the fact: Deck 2 shows 6 screws. The first deck...

    Thorens TD-160 Mk 1 Tune-Up and Setup Project

    Since this 3D headshell mass/construct topic seems to have hit a nerve with many and despite the fact it was not my intention to go here with this video series, I shall endeavour to make this the subject of my next video. I think you and everyone will be surprised and interested with the results...

    Thorens TD-160 Mk 1 Tune-Up and Setup Project

    A thrust bearing "may" be helpful in your case then. It lifts the shaft up off the base of the motor with the use of a very hard ball bearing and lubricant to smooth out the rotating shaft. Linked below is one of the ones I bought. I also heard Dave at Vinyl Nirvana used to sell a similar one...

    Thorens TD-160 Mk 1 Tune-Up and Setup Project

    Part 7 - The first sound check. A lot of nasty smart phone mic artifacts near the beginning so the sound here does not even come close to how it sounds live in person sorry to say but it does get a bit better in the musical passages towards the end if listening to a decent media system rather...

    Much appreciated, Thank you Have you tried a thrust bearing yet or is the motor shaft bent?

    Thorens TD-160 Mk 1 Tune-Up and Setup Project

    Not defensive, just factual and absolutely not an expert (thought I made that clear at the start of this video series). Suit yourself though, you certainly do have choices. I cannot change peoples minds unless they are willing to try it for themselves especially when the cost is quite...
